—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.”
